ALL late here too.... my babies had to be evicted from my uterus!! LOL
DS1 was 16 days late weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces 20.5 inches
DS2 was 14 days late weighed in at 7 pounds 4 ounces 22 inches
DS3 was 13 days late weighed in at 7 pounds 15 ounces 22 inches

There is a gal on MDC who recently delivered at 44 weeks. Her babe was 10 lbs, something.
I've never even made it to my due date Newest baby decided to bail out at 37.5 weeks and I was no where near ready for him!

Well, I'm still 6 days shy of my first little one's due date, so we'll see what my body does...my mom, however, had four of us, and none was induced. She went anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 weeks over her due dates, with babies ranging from 9 lb 6 oz to 11 lb 2 oz (I was 9.14)...since there are big babies on my husband's side too, we're guessing this one could be a whopper of a first!

DS was born at 42 weeks and 2 days after an induction. He only weighed 7 lbs 5 oz. The hospital records indicated that he should have been dated at 40 wks 2 days. This was after 2 early ultrasounds (for bleeding) that also verified my due date. Can you tell that I will not believe any ultrasound dating in the future?

and yup...i believe "normal" is considered anywhere between 38 and 42 weeks
